Hi everyone! Linn here from Sweet Inspiration. I am very honored to be guest blogging at Simple Bueprint since it’s a blog I’ve been reading for quite a while and Joanna is such an inspiring person!

Today it’s been exactly one week since she got married (congratulations!!) and she asked me to post something inspiring about weddings. So, here we go! Lately I’ve been very drawn to a wedding style that leans towards the bohemic feeling but with an urban twist! Since my blog is all about inspiring I will just let some pictures speak for themselves. Hope you’ll like it!

Hi friends! I'm Brandi from Not Your Average Ordinary. Joanna was sweet enough to ask me over to keep you company while she's on her whirlwind of a wedding and honeymoon. When she asked me to write something summery, my mind immediately went back to my road trip last summer and some time I spent in a very special place along the way.

Last summer, I drove over 3,000 miles as I wound my way from San Diego to Vancouver to New York City. I'd never seen so much of the country before and so many areas were completely new to me. And while many of them were special, Napa stands out in my mind as a little piece of paradise.

It may have been the company. It may have been the food. It may have been the chocolate or sunshine or the cool breeze or the hot air balloons hanging in the sky in the early morning. Or it may have been a combination of all these things that made my two days in the area feel like a lifetime.

While photographs could never really capture the feeling perfectly, I find myself easily slipping back into the dream that Napa was...

While I couldn't eat at French Laundry, I could wander around their gardens...

Hi everyone!! This is Danielle from The Style Files! I am honoured to do a guest post here on Simple Blueprint while Joanna is having the time of here life in Spain. Congratulations Joanna, to you, your husband (!) and your adorable son!

As Joanna is in Spain, I thought it would be nice to have a Spanish themed post. I love to feature summer houses and today I am showing you one of my favourites. This stunning home is located on Formentera, which is like Majorca part of the Balearic islands.

I love everthing about this home, especially the very inviting outdoor areas.

Wooden kitchen cabinets and white walls: such a beautiful combination.That huge fire place, those beams ... everything is just gorgeous!The use of natural materials and the choice of furniture and accessories suits this house perfectly.

Hi everyone!! Kirsten from Simply Grove here! I am thrilled to be guest posting on Simple Blueprint while Joanna embarks on an exciting time in her life. She is one fabulous gal.

I am very much in love with the "not so perfect" gallery walls. They are charming and whimsical. And when done right, so stylish! Here are a few images to inspire us all to create the perfect gallery wall.

This first image shows us how to use cohesive frames with a variety of prints and colors, while placing the frames in no particular order.

In this image we see a small variety of frames, prints, and sizes. Because the palette is strongly in black and white with a hint of soft hues, everything about this looks clean and sleek.

I love how these art pieces are able to pop out against this lovely black wall. This is a classic gallery wall with a modern twist.

Gallery walls can feel intimidating but in the end, anything can go!
